Italian Chicken and Grilled Summer Squash Over Angel Hair Pasta

The flavor of this sauce is very summery with the squash and celery and onion flavors in every bite. I used canned spaghetti sauce, but you can use tomato sauce and season it with basil, oregano and a little brown sugar. The cheese on top really makes this a fun dish.

 "Very tasty chilli - the variety of colour makes for great plate presentation. I might swap out the chilli powder for nutmeg next time - I think that would better accent the squash. (Though I guess it wouldn't be chilli any more.)" - kitchenstadium

    This dish is very colorful, good and good for you! I used squash picked fresh from the garden and canned tomatoes from last year's garden. Yum!
